One Coordinated Sign System for Your Entire Facility

We create Regulatory Signs, Safety Signs, and Custom Accessible Signage that help people identify permanent spaces, understand property rules, recognize hazards, and navigate facilities. From entrances and restrooms to parking areas, stairwells, workspaces, and restricted areas, each sign needs a clear purpose within the larger communication system.

Effective signage accounts for viewing distance, contrast, lighting, placement, durability, and reading conditions. We work with businesses, healthcare operators, schools, property managers, and contractors to plan signs for customer-facing and employee areas without treating every message as the same type of sign.

Start planning ADA signage in Willow Grove by calling (215) 607-2432 to discuss your facility, existing signs, and project goals.

One Team for Design, Permitting, & Installation

Our work goes beyond producing an isolated sign. We review your priorities and support the project through graphic design, project management, survey and permitting services, installation, and shipping and storage.

We can coordinate signage for applications such as:

Permanent spaces: ADA compliant signs and braille and graphic signs for rooms and facility features.
Safety communication: workplace safety signs, OSHA signage, warning signs, and fire extinguisher signs.
Rules and restrictions: compliance signs, no smoking signs, restricted-area notices, and other policy messages.
Emergency guidance: Exit signs, fire exit signs, emergency exit signs, and safety directional signs.

Our marketing strategists, graphic professionals, project managers, and problem solvers understand how signs and graphics represent your organization. We manage the details with the goal of completing projects accurately, on time, and on budget while keeping the full facility plan in view.

Build a Clearer Facility Sign System

Tell us whether you need one replacement sign, signage for a new space, or a coordinated facility-wide system. We’ll identify the areas involved, the purpose of each message, expected viewing distances, signs that need replacement, and potential installation or permitting considerations.

From individual ADA compliant signage in Willow Grove to a facility-wide system, we can align the design, production, and installation scope with your organization’s needs.

How Regulatory, Safety, & Accessible Signs Differ

Regulatory signs communicate rules and restrictions, safety signs identify hazards or provide instructions, and accessible signage supports permanent room identification and accessible navigation.

A coordinated system may combine ADA signage, warning signs, compliance signs, workplace safety signs, OSHA signage, emergency information, property rules, and general directions. Interior and exterior applications require different planning because exposure, lighting, mounting conditions, viewing distance, and durability vary by location.

2010 ADA Standards for Permanent Rooms & Spaces

The 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design contain requirements for signs identifying permanent rooms and spaces. Depending on a sign’s purpose, these provisions can address visual characters, tactile characters (raised lettering read by touch), Braille, pictograms, contrast, finish, mounting height, and installation location.

Tactile characters are generally positioned between 48 inches minimum and 60 inches maximum above the finished floor or ground, measured using the baselines specified by the standards. Braille appears below the corresponding tactile text and must maintain the required separation from other tactile elements and raised borders.

When a pictogram identifies a permanent room or space, the standards generally require a tactile text descriptor. Applicable visual characters and backgrounds also require a non-glare finish and sufficient contrast. These details should be evaluated for each sign and location rather than applied as a single template.

Permanent room identification isn’t interchangeable with general wayfinding, policy notices, or temporary messages. Requirements vary according to what a sign communicates and where it’s installed, so planning begins by categorizing each message correctly.

How OSHA Safety Signage Differs from Traffic-Control Signs

Occupational Safety and Health Administration specifications cover accident-prevention signs that warn workers or members of the public about specific hazards or provide safety instructions. They distinguish among danger signs, caution signs, and safety instruction signs. Wording should be concise, accurate, understandable, and readable.

Safety sign planning should account for signal words such as danger or caution, along with pictograms, message length, hazard proximity, lighting, viewing distance, and environmental exposure. Together, these factors determine how and where a safety message should appear.

Traffic-control regulatory signs are a separate category. The Federal Highway Administration’s Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, commonly called the MUTCD, addresses signs that inform road users of traffic laws or regulations and requires adequate visibility and legibility where those regulations apply. MUTCD regulatory signs shouldn’t be confused with private-property rules, workplace hazard communication, or ADA room-identification signage.

Plan the Project Before Design & Production Begin

A facility inventory provides a practical starting point for accessible, regulatory, and safety signage. It can organize rooms, entrances, exits, accessible routes, parking spaces, hazards, restricted areas, temporary messages, and existing signs that need replacement.

A coordinated project typically considers:

Sign purpose: Determine whether each sign marks a permanent space, communicates a hazard, states a policy, or provides directions.
Reading conditions: Review placement, viewing distance, lighting, contrast, message length, and pictograms.
Accessibility features: Determine where tactile characters, Braille, visual characters, or accessible wayfinding elements apply.
Physical conditions: Account for interior or exterior exposure, materials, mounting methods, and installation surfaces.
Project requirements: Evaluate survey, permitting, production, project management, and installation needs for the location.

We support this process with graphic design, project management, survey and permitting services, and installation. Defining each sign category before design begins creates a more organized visual communication plan for your property.
